Wolf Gold Power Jackpot Review

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what made the original Wolf Gold so successful, but something obviously hit home with the retro North American animal presentation. Just like Relax Gaming recently did with Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop, Pragmatic Play takes advantage of the starpower of one of their most iconic releases to introduce their brand new progressive jackpot system.

The audiovisual presentation has been brushed up a bit as well, but you still get the nostalgic retro appeal. There are 4 progressive jackpots up for grabs, but 50 % of the big one - called the Power Jackpot - is shared with everyone who contributed each time it drops. This is the first “socialist” jackpot system we’ve come across, which makes it kind of unique, and Pragmatic has also taken the opportunity to alter the bonus round modifier.

Wolf Gold Power Jackpot Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 8 and 20 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wolf Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild can appear on all 5 reels, and a pure wild symbol win pays the same as the top-tier bison symbol.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, and you get an upfront scatter win of 1x your stake plus 5 free spins. Instead of merged middle reels with giant symbols, you get Mystery Symbols that can appear on all 5 reels in this version. The mystery symbols transform into random and matching pay symbols or wilds, and you can retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 new scatters.

The Money Respins feature triggers when you land at least 6 moon cash symbols in view, and the triggering cash symbols become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid.

The Jackpot Bonus Game triggers when you land 5 golden reels on a base game spin. The inner part of the jackpot wheel spins first, and this is where you can win the progressive Mini, Minor, Major or Power jackpots. A jackpot win is not guaranteed however, and if you land on a blank segment the outer part of the wheel spins to award a consolation prize.

Keep in mind however, that 50 % of the Power Jackpot is shared with all players that contributed to the jackpot. It’s also worth mentioning that your jackpot chances are increased based on your stake, but exact details on this are not revealed.

The 200 Spins Wolf Gold Power Jackpot Slot Experience

It was good fun getting to try a brand new version of the iconic original from Pragmatic Play, not least since progressive jackpots are involved.

Review Summary

Fans of the original will not necessarily go for this jackpot version, but this is mostly due to a very different math model. The audiovisual presentation has been altered slightly, but not enough to raise any eyebrows. You’re still deep in the North American canyon, with wolves howling at the moon pretty much all the time. A turbo spin option has been included, which we always welcome, and holding down the space bar is the fastest way to play.

Chasing progressive jackpots always comes with a price, and the RTP excluding the jackpots is reduced to 83.38 %. The regular 2,500x potential is also half of what you get in the original, and some players may prefer giant symbols to mystery symbols in the bonus round. In one way it’s cool that any contributor gets his/her fair share of the Power Jackpot, but it also means 50 % less for the actual winner. The reception will be interesting to behold, but many will probably stick with the original.

Pros

• FS w/ possible mystery symbols on all 5 reels
• Money Respins w/ 1,000x full grid prize
• Jackpot Wheel feature w/ 4 progressive jackpots
• 50 % of the Power Jackpot is shared w/ all contributors

Cons

• RTP of 83.38 % excluding the jackpots
• Max win sliced in half to 2,500x your stake
• You only win 50 % of the Power Jackpot
